There are 109 sisters in my family, and at home I’m the bratty little ruler. But school is a different story. Giovanni Rossi, a rich student, corners me in the washroom with his lackeys and sneers that a low-income student like me has no right to put on airs—breathing their air has consequences. After a brutally savage beating, I grab Giovanni and roll down the stairs with him.When I wake up, Dean Marcella Greco furiously scolds me. She says Giovanni only beat me up; if someone insults me and puts their hands on me, I should be asking what I did wrong. She demands my guardian come at once, or I won’t be allowed to leave.My guardians—my 109 sisters—are not ordinary people. I’ve lived a normal life for more than a dozen years to keep them out of trouble. But if trouble comes to my door, I can’t help it.“Are you sure you want to meet my guardians, Ms. Greco?”
